Kameron Marlowe, Marcus King raise the bar with ‘High Hopes’

A soulful blend of country and blues that redefines the hit from Marlowe’s acclaimed album

Country powerhouse Kameron Marlowe enlists critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Marcus King to ignite a fire with their new rendition of “High Hopes” available everywhere now. Originally released on Marlowe’s May 2024 album Keepin’ The Lights On, the new duet with the Americana mainstay retains the soulfulness of the original, now amplified with guitar-enhanced production for a bluesy-driven twist. Penned by Josh Osborne, Trevor Rosen and Brad Tursi, “High Hopes” captures the bittersweet struggle of moving on from lost love, blending optimism with a sense of lingering doubt. The pair swap lead vocals in a fragile balance of the emotions that hold together a broken heart during the aftermath struggle of what once was versus what is.

“It’s an absolute honor to have Marcus King on this song with me,” shares Marlowe. “I’ve been such a huge fan of his and having him on ‘High Hopes’ just brings it to an entirely new level!”

Last week, Marlowe energized crowds nationally as he made his morning television debut headlining Fox & Friends’ All American Concert Series. Marlowe performed his current radio single “Strangers” and other fan favorites live from Fox Square.

Fresh off his Strangers Tour with special guest Tucker Wetmore and the summer’s hottest fairs and festivals, Marlowe will embark on his Keepin’ The Lights On World Tour 2024 in September, visiting cities across the US, Canada and Europe. Having performed over 200+ shows in the last two years of his career, Marlowe has shared the spotlight with artists such as Thomas Rhett, Riley Green, Lainey Wilson and many more, and has appeared at major festivals including Stagecoach, Country to Country, CMC Rocks, Windy City Smokeout and Watershed.

With over one billion global career streams, recognition from the 2024 ACM Awards as a Best New Male Artist nominee, and praise from MusicRow, the Grand Ole Opry, CMT, Amazon, Pandora and more, Marlowe’s star power shows no signs of dimming.
